Disgraced General Mark Milley Ends Career with Awkward Pleading for Applause: 'That Was Weak'

Call it poetic justice — sooner or later you have to answer for your actions. What happens in this life may be a clue for what’s coming next.

When General Mark Milley, who served as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump and Biden, retired on Friday, he went out “not with a bang but a whimper,” a testament to the poetic genius of T.S. Eliot.

Mark Milley is one of Eliot’s hollow men who have spent their professional lives in Washington, D.C., ruining America. He is one of the men who “whisper together/Are quiet and meaningless/As wind in dry grass/Or rats’ feet over broken glass”.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
